Programs
 
Can Innerworks Solutions help?
The usual content for a programs page is a list of all the products and a description of each one. That works fine for car parts but not when making a big investment of time and money and when your company's success is at stake.

Program details (see Program Modules) such as content, duration, and cost will be important to making a final decision, but the conversation should start by examining the business decision – Will we get sufficient financial return to make this effort worthwhile?

The Business Case
Working through a list of key questions will help you decide to proceed or not. Doing so will help you determine if there is sufficient financial reason to go forward and if there is sufficient commitment to ensure success.

• What is prompting me to find help?
• What are the indicators that we need to make a change?
• What will happen if we do not make a change?
• What is it costing to continue with no change?
• What would be different if we made a successful change?
• How would we know we are successful?
• How much savings or income would that generate?
• What worries me, personally, about this?
• How committed am I to solving the problem?
• How committed is my company to change?

If you would like assistance to complete the business case, please call 877-774-0453 (Toll Free) to arrange a meeting with Innerworks Solutions. We are happy to work with you to answer these questions and to evaluate if our programs can provide a cost-effective solution for your company.

When Innerworks Solutions is the right choice
Clients first consider whether to start small or to embark on an organization wide program to firmly establish a Leadership Culture. Clients choosing the organization wide path have some or all of the following characteristics:

• Having to compete on price
• Market share is flat or shrinking
• Productivity is flat or reducing
• They worry that good employees will leave when the economy rebounds
• An employee survey reveals low morale or dissatisfaction with management
• Departments operate independently and sometimes competitively wasting time and resources
• How to keep people motivated when salaries are flat, options are under water, and benefits are being trimmed

Please go to Leadership Culture to learn more about getting everyone from executives on down involved in moving the company forward.

Start Small
Many organizations start by working with a single facility, department, project team, or other segment. Clients who take this approach are concerned about:

• Projects consistently missing deadlines
• Important, long-term goals are not being met
• A high percentage of experienced managers left during downsizing, leaving new managers in their place.
• Managers are too busy firefighting to adequately develop their employees
• Employee satisfaction survey scores are flat or declining
• Minimizing the risk of bringing in a new program

If these or similar issues describe your situation, please visit the Clients page for example programs.

When Innerworks Solutions is not the right choice
When the answer is clear that Innerworks Solutions is not the best source to meet your needs we are happy to recommend other quality resources.

Sometimes potential clients have the assignment to fill a spot in the company's training catalog with a coaching skills or leadership workshop. Innerworks Solutions has found that sources for more traditional training classes are a better fit when the goal is to complete a certain number of training hours rather than achieve a specific business goal.
